R33 wheels on Evo 9 fitment help.
I've purchased a set of oem GT-R R33 wheels for my Evo IX.
Correct me on this:
Based on my research the wheels are 17", 5x114, 9j, et30, which is exactly what I was looking for. The problem is that the centre bore is 66.1.
The Evo 9 centre bore is 67.1
Will these wheels fit SAFELY with a bit of coaxing, or will I need to mill the bore on the wheels to 67.1?
Also, who is the manufacturer of these wheels? Enkei, BBS? Only info I can come up with is that they're forged wheels.

To be honest. There is literally zero in wheel choices for this car in 17" in South Africa. Especially not in the specs I was looking for. 17", 5x114, 9j, et30.
In my eagerness, having found this wheel in the correct spec, I must admit that the cb slipped my mind.
I can fix this, but I need confirmation that the above specs are indeed correct (66.1 R33 wheel bore and 67.1 Evo centre bore) and that it'll take just a little bit of machining to the bore on the wheel to get it to 67.1 for a perfect fit.

Turns out, they were 67.1 already. Strangely enough, the fronts fitted with no complaints, but at the rear we needed to use a pencil grinder to open up the bevelled edge just a tiny bit. They did this at the wheel shop.
